Lee Priest


As most people in the bodybuilding and fitness world know, Lee Priest is one of the most popular "characters" in bodybuilding.

Lee is from Australia, has been competing professionally since the early 90's and lives a happy go lucky life.

He's fun to be around - plus he likes to eat (like me).

Once I came up with the concept of www.bodybuildersreality.com, I wrote the copy and designed the website ALL BEFORE HAVING A MAIN CHARACTER!

I didn't wait.

This is important.

I knew that in order to be "First to market" I needed to have everything in place asap.

This worked well because once I contacted Lee, all I had to do was to point him to the website (www.bodybuildersreality.com) and he could see for himself and understand what it was that I was trying to do with this project.

The problem was...I didn't know Lee personally.

And he didn't know me at all.

But, we both lived in Austin, Texas.
So, one day I emailed him, proposed the idea of bodybuildersreality.com to him.
It took several days to get an answer but once I did, it was what I was hoping to hear.
Lee's answer was "Yes" and he thought that the project would do well.
So, to sum up, if you had told me that I would be working with Lee someday in the area that I love (bodybuilding and fitness) and I would be making money doing it - I probably wouldn't have believed it.
So how does this affect you.
Well, what moneymaking fitness/bodybuilding ideas do you have that might allow you to work with someone whom you admire?
Stop waiting around and take action!
